| Abstract | The recent establishment of a robust hepatitis C virus (HCV) cell culture system permits analysis of virus-host interactions during HCV infection. Here, we report that HCV genotype 2a (JFH-1) infection fails to induce IFN-β or IFN-stimulated gene expression in Huh-7 cells, and that it blocks IFN-β and IFN-stimulated gene production after transfection of synthetic dsRNA. Overexpression of individual components of the dsRNA-signaling pathway in HCV-infected and uninfected cells indicates that HCV inhibits IFN-β promoter activity by inactivating the mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein/IFN-β promoter stimulator 1 (MAVS/IPS-1), while leaving the IFN-induced Janus kinases-signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling pathway intact. We also show that MAVS/IPS-1-dependent IFN-β promoter activity in HCV-infected cells is fully restored by the nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) protease inhibitor BILN2061. In contrast, synthetic dsRNA-induced IFN-β promoter activity is not restored by BILN2061, although it is partially restored by overexpression of RIG-I. These results support recently reported evidence that the HCV NS3 protease blunts the ability of HCV to induce IFN-β promoter activity by proteolytically cleaving MAVS/IPS-1. The results also suggest that HCV blocks the synthetic dsRNA-induced signaling pathway at a point upstream of MAVS/IPS-1, and that it does so by an NS3-independent mechanism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
